Republicans have been “inadvertently “ doing this shit for years..

How come we never fucking ever see them called out face to face by the media.
Because he felt he had an admirable “goal”?
This piece of shit congressman from Colorado was wrong on the facts, issues and every other
piece of dumb crap he spewed and yet he won’t suffer any consequences at all!!

From Think Progress:

Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) made headlines on Thursday when he inadvertently revealed a still secret Defense Intelligence Agency asessment of North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. In one segment of the DIA’s assessment, which was mistakenly labeled as unclassified in the copy provided to Congress, the Pentagon spy agency determined North Korea “has nuclear weapons capable of delivery by ballistic missiles; however, the reliability will be low.”
Lamborn defended the disclosure after the meeting, as he was worried that the Obama administration isn’t doing enough to fund missile defense:
“My whole goal in bringing this to light was to make sure we don’t cut missile defense spending,” the congressman said. “At the worst possible time, the President’s budget does exactly that.”

The President wisely should place tons of extra junk in his budgets to give something the republican warprofiteers can change. Let them feel like they 'won' something. Still gets the budget done.
